Chapter 29: Observation Platform (Part ½)

Forget it. He never should have had any expectations for this system.

Luo Nan then felt that his recent action of hiding away the interface was quite foolish. Fortunately it was better to act later than never, like mending the pen after the sheep were lost. He then sighed a breath and tapped the control console, lighting up the enormous screen in front of him once more.

The radiating light of the enormous screen drew out Luo Nan’s shadow. It also made Xie Junping’s chin crash to the ground:

”Junior Nan. You’re…… a hacker?”

Since Luo Nan didn’t know how to explain, he just simply didn’t say anything.

On the other hand, Xie Junping became excited in an instant: “Good good. It’s said that this system has been strengthened by Quantum Corporation. Junior Nan, you’re able to use it?”

Wasn’t this fellow’s mood a bit too strange?

Luo Nan still remembered that he had pretty much forced Xie Junping to go unconscious. Before Xie Junping passed out, he wailed at Luo Nan to “spare his life”. But the current circumstances had Xie Junping lose all terror of Luo Nan in his heart and even his fear of being in dire straits had been cut to the bare minimum.

Could the scare have caused him to lose his memories? Or could it be that slaying the burning wraith would really have instantaneous effects?

Luo Nan’s brief reflection yielded no results and he placed this matter to the side. He activated the Gear interface once again and poured his gaze onto the Observation Platform option. Several seconds passed before he selected the option telepathically.

There was no change whatsoever upon the interface; instead there was a stream of information that followed the heavily chained crow and was guided in an orderly fashion into Luo Nan’s brain. It allowed him to understand several things.

Luo Nan muttered a bit deeply in thought. He turned around and went: “Let’s go.”

“Go? Go where?” Xie Junping looked around at their dusky surroundings, not really daring to move.

But in the next second a door automatically opened up to the side of the central control room. A darker space was now open.

Xie Junping blurted: “Hidden passageway?”

“Turn on the lighting of your wristband.”

“Huh?”

The enormous screen was extinguished by a telepathic thought from Luo Nan and the pitch-black darkness was restored to the room.

Xie Junping yelped in surprise. He turned on the light of his wristband in a fluster; the light barely illuminated the path ahead.

Luo Nan didn’t say anything else now that there was light. He directly walked in the direction towards the newly opened door.

“Hey hey. This is a secret passageway right……” Xie Junping lowered his voice and suppressed his nervousness. He blindly followed after Luo Nan.

“There’s a corridor outside.”

Luo Nan’s large external neuron still maintained control over the resources that had been displayed on the enormous screen even though the screen had been turned off. Valid information was transmitted, channeled through the heavily chained crow, and passed onto his cranial nerves. Then a screen was directly mapped onto his retinas.

It didn’t matter how far the distance was. As long as Luo Nan had the energy to support the existence of the heavily chained crow, this digital map would never disappear.

Of course, if it wasn’t for this heavily chained crow towing the Wraith Sign sensor and the fact that he wasn’t prepared to do an out-of-body experience, he would have turned into a blind man and would have absolutely needed light to continue advancing within this darkness.

Xie Junping had already understood the ruthlessness of the defense system from the incident with his wristband. He was completely confused right now: “How did it open if it’s not a secret passageway?”

“It should be an initial design from the builders. The following route we will be taking, and all the doors, are controlled by a different and independent power source…… The remodelers who came later obviously hadn’t discovered this.”

“Why the hell did they make things so annoying?”

Xie Junping’s wristband and its beam of light swayed. He looked around at his surroundings and sure enough he saw public locations such as corridors and the like on their route. They occasionally had to cut through a few rooms, but they didn’t need to cover up their tracks.
